Oh I see. Yes, Feanor was probably often distracted. This is pointing to the future because Maedros sacrifes himself to destroy the Silmaril in the Fire, doesn't he.

Agh I have forgotten my Elves again. Who is who? But nicely written.

Fëanor would be a difficult father to please, I think! But I like how we see that his own desperate mastery of everything was fueled by a desire to please Finwë. Fëanor loved his father very much....and in the end, Finwë returned it. But maybe not when he had a new bride!

Poor Maedhros. I could wish that he had learned that he did not need to be perfect to please his father, but I suspect that belief was already deeply engrained. And he kept his brothers on the mission for as long as he could. It's a good thing that only the book caught fire - and that Feanor turned up just when he did. I hope he insisted on a bit more playing for his young son. For a while, at least.
